Is your Henderson Basement Flooding?

3/4/2022 (Permalink)

During this time of year, spring can bring a lot of unwanted flooding. Flooding in your Henderson home can occur when you have low floors. Here are a few tips that you can use to help combat flooding in your basement: 

Location: When rainfall occurs in excess, it can cause your basement to flood. Know your flood zones and check with your insurance company on possible flood damage coverage. 

Basement Drains: If you know your home is in a low area, consider a drainage system or a sump pump. 

Sources: When water damage enters your home, the best way to not allow it to happen again is to find the source. Drains and gutter systems can be placed in the wrong area and can even be placed in a way that directs water to your home, instead of away. Also, knowing your roof, foundation, and other areas to check on cracks and places of weakness. Consider a french drain or gutters that divert into a place not near your home.
